This problem is fixed in the CVS code for findutils.
To resolve your problem, you could either wait for the
next official release of findutils, or check out a copy
of the code from the CVS repository for findutils.

This should be added for the size argument:

M for megabytes
G for GigaBytes

This is for the man page (sorry for writing in the same horrible way as the text already present)

.IP "\-size [+-]\fIn\fR[bckw]"

File uses exactly \fIn\fP units of space, by default matches
the exact number of units, or if `+' follows \fIn\fP more than
\fIn\fP units of space, and if `-' follows \fIn\fP less than n units of
space. The units are 512-byte blocks by
default or if `b' follows \fIn\fP, bytes if `c' follows \fIn\fP,
kilobytes if `k' follows \fIn\fP, or 2-byte words if `w' follows \fIn\fP.
The size does not count indirect blocks, but it does count blocks in
sparse files that are not actually allocated.

(BTW the mailinglists followups are not listed on the svannah webpage, this is bad)
